I like books that are exciting and that make you think about things as well.

I try not to recommend too many books, frankly, because I think there's a certain synchronicity that happens when people discover books.

My favorite book is always the one I'm working on at the moment.

I love books, and I love to read, and I had ideas for books that I thought would be neat to read.

Books are challenging and inspirational to me.

The books that help you the most are those which make you think the most.

I've read everything that Isaac Asimov ever wrote, for a start. I'm massively into my fantasy genre, anything by R.A. Salvatore or David Gemmell. I've read every single book those writers have written.

Since I spend such a long time making each book, I only choose books that I'm really interested in and that I really love.

I like motivational books, because I like the go-getting American spirit - your destiny is in your own hands, life is what you make it, don't accept your limitations, jump before you're pushed, leap before you look.

Sometimes a book influences me because it winds me up. There'll be something that gets under my skin and makes me think that I can do better.
